Get Rowdy With Darius Rucker’s Insane ‘Friends In Low Places’ Performance
on Aug 25, 2017
Garth Brooks made an explosive mark on the world of country music with the release of his 1990 smash hit, “Friends in Low Places.” While the country singer was a relatively unknown artist at the time of its release, the song went on to transform Brooks into a household name.
Since the release of “Friends in Low Places,” artists of all walks of music have performed their take on the tune. At a concert taking place in Melkweg, Amsterdam back in March, Darius Rucker performed a rowdy rendition of Brooks’ iconic tune.
“‘Cause I’ve got friends in low places/ Where the whiskey drowns/ And the beer chases my blues away/ And I’ll be okay,” sings Rucker. “I’m not big on social graces/
Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis/ Oh, I’ve got friends in low places.”
“Friends in Low Places” was the lead single off Brooks’ album No Fences, earning him both an ACM Award as well as a CMA Award for “Single of the Year.” In addition to the song’s massive success in the United States, “Friends in Low Places” was a success on an international scale, charting in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom.
